    We won't need to tank. We'll just go out and lose like an actual bad team. I just hope that if this Rockets bunch is destined to have one of those sub-40 win seasons, Morey doesn't make the Butler deal. Keep our damn draft picks cuz we're gonna need em. We can't rebuild via free agency since we're capped out and trades will be difficult given the salaries some of our players are earning.

    Carmelo scored 24 points. Last night's game can't be a bad thing. ;)

    Why are people panicking? Do they not remember that "the worst we could do was great"?

    Harden and Paul need the rest in the regular season.

    ALL 6 new additions this offseason are pitiful defenders.

    What can you do?

    It’s not the record, or even the score. It’s how they defend. Anyone see any semblance of the elite lock down defense we had last year in this current roster? I see nothing.

    I’m glad they are 5-3 and always pull for em, but I don’t think they are anywhere close to Super Bowl favorites.

    Morey's genius move to tank this season for the #1 pick

    Pretty calm as long as we keep our picks. If it's looking like we'll be gunning for that 8th seed I say sit everyone and tank for Zion/RJ. Why not? Spurs did it with Duncan. Not that Zion/RJ is on that level though.

    This is just inexplicable. So puzzling and hard to believe.

    Oh no we suck again, currently at 13th seed :(:(:(
    We cant seem to either stop shooters or we are unlucky (suck at D)
    Even with the Great Jeff B back we still cant do anything.

    3 straight losses in some of our easiest games of the year.

    This team is a 7-8 seed at best. They absolutely suck.

    I know, I know -- James Harden & Chris Paul, no way they can miss the playoffs -- but why do we think they're a playoff team?

    Besides Golden State at the top and Phoenix at the bottom, West is wide open.

    I don't know if they'll miss the playoffs but wouldn't surprise me either.
